EIas querading as wild AnimaIs--Lectur-
inc a Native Christian

EIasqueTadinG wild Administrators
ing a Native Christian.
A singular thing may occasionally be
seen in India at the festival of the
Mehurrum. While the Shah Mahom-
medans are lamenting in black over the
death of Ali and his two sons-the SON
in-law and grandsons of the Prophet-the
Sunni NOhammedans are making high
festival in honor of the three first caliphs,
and masquerading as tigers and bears to
represent the wild beasts of the forest
which haunted the bank of the Eu-
pirates when the last son of Ali was
murdered. To this day the Sunni Ma
hommedans and host of skylarking
HindOos will play all the FRANKS that are
described as having taking place in the
court of Timur The antagOnism be-
tween Shah and Sunni may occasionally
lead to fighting and blOOdshed; but pre-
liminary arrangements are generally
made by British authorities TO prevent the
possibility of collision.
Some years ago Il characteristic incident
took place at the celebration of the
MehurruIl in the city of Madras. The
Shiahs " weeping aloud and beating
their breasts in the bosom of their fami
lies; but the Sunnis were abroad in the
streets and highways, keeping holiday.
a HindOO magistrate kept the peace, sup
Hosts of Asiatics appeared before his
worship, painted up and disguised as
tigers, bears, monkeys, and other animals.
Troops of representatives of every trade
approached the magisterial bench at in
terValS to make salaams and perform
their several parts as marks of respect to
the grave and majestic HindOO magis-
trate, who to them was the representative
of government, the emblem Of the state
the sirkar. The multitude of perform
ers was perfectly orderly, playing like
children, amusing and amused. Now
and then a drunken tiger or Il noisy bear
was brought before the bench on which
the magistrate sat with one or two Euro
pean loOkers-On. To the uninitiated it
seemed surprising thAt the bulk of the
performers were HindOos, who had
Joined in the MahOmmedan festival from
sheer love of fun, which had overpOwered
all feelings of religious antagOnism.
The Hindoo magistrate dismissed each
offender without caring whether he was
MahOmmedan or HindOO. At last, how
ever, a riOtOus tiger was brought up for
punishment, Smearcd with stripes of paint
and overcome with liquor and terror. The
frightened tiger confessed that he had
been drunk and disOrderly, but begged to
excuse himself on the score that he was
Christian. Probably he was some pariah,
who only called himself q Christian in
the hope of escaping fine or imprison-
ment. But the opportunity was not to be
had, and accordingly the worthy magis-
trate delivered a hOmily from the bench
for the edification of the European gen
tlemen ON the euOrlnity of a native Chris
rian playing at tigers and bears with Ma
hommedans.- Commercial Ga

COLLECTING and selling Addresses.

In addition to his other vast business
interests Erastus Wiman is the inventor
of a scheme for collecting and selling the
addresses of people all over the United
States, which nets him an enormous
yearly income. This last is a great
scheme, and it works like charm. For
instance, if I have patent medicine that
l wanted to introduce to the general
market, 1 go to Mr.. Wiman's address
agency, and in return for the payment
Of a certain sum l receive a list that in
cludes the name of every druggist in the
United States. If I have new brand of
tobacco l can secure the name of every
cigar dealer in America through this
same agency. And so it goes through all
the trades.-New York Letter.

To Induce HeaItbfnIpo.

In the decline of life, when exhausted
nature habitually repels the restorative
influence of sleep, there is nothing so suit
able to induce heaIthfuI repose as one-baif

time. 1t may be taken for years, in the
same dose, with the same effect and with
out detriment.-American Medical Jour

a Test of Good Poetry.

The test of good poetry, as of good
wine, an English critic says, is not analy-
sis, but taste; and he adds: "a collection
of really good poetry made by a good
critic-such as Palgrave's 'Gloden Treas
ury'-helps more to elevate the popular
standard Of poetic excellence and to fix
an absolute standard than any quantity
OF ingenious analysis, in the details Of
which probably no two critics agree. -

Voters MUST REGISTER.

This is a year when 1t should be unnecessary
TO urge Republicans TO register. The excel
lence of their State and city tickets. and the
character Of the forces opposing them, make
this duty douby important for every member
of the party 1t is the duty Of all good citizens.
no matter to what party they claim allegiance.
But it is a duty that has so far been greatly
neglected. And this is particularly true OF
Republicans a comparison Of tho registration
for the first two days this year with the CORE
spending time last year shows falling of in
every Republican district In the city. In the
XXIst Assembly District, in which large
number of the leading business men reside,
the falling off amounts to 513 votes. But IN
some of the Democratic districts, in which re-
side "boodle' Aldermen awaiting trial, there
has been an increase in the registration COM
pared with last year.
These are significant facts. The boodlers,"
aided by the Democratic bosses and the liquor
dealers arc making desperate effort to secure
immunity from punishment and a return to
power by the election of the Democratic ticket.
The liquor dealers are to be rewarded for their
aid by the promise Of assistance in the abolition
of the Sunday laws. The triumph OF this COM
bination of boodlers, bosses and opponents OF
tho Sunday laws would be terrible calamity.
But it cannot DO prevented unless tho good
citizens register and vote. Talk will avail
nothing without votes. There arc two days
moro Of egistraton-Friday and Saturday OF
this week Every citizen who cares for the
welfare OF the city should mako 1t his para
mount duty to register as early as possible.
